Are these stock rims?

UB2SLOW · 02-15-2017, 12:06 AM

Hey all,

I recently purchased a used 2011 135i and was wondering if anyone can tell me if the wheels on my car came stock. I can't seem to find a photo of another 135i with these wheels. They are 18x7.5(f) and 18x8.5(r). There's no brand markings on them.

Not wheel related, but the car also has Hartge side skirts, which I'm also curious as to whether or not was a factory trim option.

Thanks in advance!

VMR v701's

But the sizes would be

18x8.5 +45
18x9.5 +50

Great eye, Fakemike! Thanks! I thought it odd that I couldn't find a stock photo with those wheels.

Not a factory option. There were Hartge modified 135s with an engine tune, lowered suspension, new wheels, and appearance upgrades, including the side skirts. I think some of these parts were probably sold by other vendors as well as Hartge and that may be how the side skirts found their way to your car..

Ahh, thanks for the info

I definitely don't have the Hartge modified 1er. From the looks of the article, they were N54s and had other aero mods that I don't have.

Looks like V701's but the size is F'd up... You sure on the wheel size?

Yeah, I misstated the size. They are VMRs. Thanks for the replies!
